Topic Cinema Projection Screens
The following photographs are of the auditoriums in the N.C.P.A., Mumbai where we have supplied various projection screens for the stage. Please click on "read more" to view the photographs.
This photograph is of the little theatre just below the recording studio; it boasts of both a cinema perforated screen as well as a rolling screen.
This photograph is of the tata theatre where we have installed a cinema projection screen of 32' x 14' on a folding frame. "An auditorium where 1,000 people could hear the delicate sounds of Indian instruments without the recourse to electronic amplification". Dr. J.J. Bhabha’s vision for India’s first national theatre – the Tata Theatre.
What he achieved was not only India’s first but also the first theatre in the world, conceived, designed and built to serve the exacting acoustic and visual requirement of Indian music, dance and related art forms.
The design of the Tata Theatre is unique. Since an Indian audience sits around the musicians on three sides and their appreciative responses stimulate the artistes, the Tata Theatre stage is built in the thrust shape, almost semi-circular and the auditorium with a similar fan shape. This is why there are five equal segments, each of 208 seats and the last row is so much closer to the stage than the last row of a traditional theatre of the same seating capacity.
The Godrej Dance Academy Theatre where we have also installed a rolling projection screen on the back of the stage.
